Austin Police have said they do not believe the crash was intentional.
Doors have been boarded up with plywood after a car crashed into the emergency room at St. David's North Austin Medical Center on Tuesday.
Crumes identified the driver of the vehicle as Michelle Holloway, a 57-year-old woman. Holloway was pronounced dead on the scene after CPR was attempted. DeYoung initially said eight patients being treated in the ER before the crash would be sent to other facilities, although they were not injured in the incident. An ATCEMS representative clarified on Wednesday that only five additional patients were ultimately transported to St. David's Round Rock.DeYoung said the crash caused damage to the outside doors of the building, as well as a large fish aquarium inside the ER lobby, but that otherwise the facility appeared to be in good condition.
Operations in other areas of the hospital were not affected. However, the hospital's North entrance is temporarily closed, and staff and patients are asked to enter through an alternate entrance. Patients who are arriving for surgery should use the hospital's West entrance, DeYoung said.
